Assessment of interspecies scattering lengths $a_{12}$ from stability of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

A stability method is used to assess possible values of interspecies scattering lengths a_12 in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates described within the Gross-Pitaevskii approximation. The technique, based on a recent stability analysis of solitonic excitations in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates, is applied to ninety combinations of atomic alkali pairs with given singlet and triplet intraspecies scattering lengths as input parameters. Results obtained for values of a_12 are in a reasonable agreement with the few ones available in the literature and with those obtained from a Painleve analysis of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations.
